Moving house is a stressful experience at the best of times, even when it is your choice to do so. Being forced to flee your home at short notice, due to a severe flood for example, is altogether more traumatising. Over the past few years, climate change has resulted in major floods at various locations across the world. Here in the UK, we have recently had experience of major floods in many areas. The situation looks likely to worsen, with flood relief and insurance claims becoming more important in the lives of many people.
Our experience of re-housing victims of the floods, shows that the faster we can move to provide flood relief, the better. The shock of a disastrous flood is lessened when victims can at least retreat to a warm, safe haven and are also protected by insurance. The floods may still be raging, with the emergency services at full stretch, but you and your family will be safe.
We know that being made homeless by flooding is devastating. Flood relief re-housing in these circumstances has to be handled sensitively and we strive to achieve this, in conjunction with your insurance company. Your emergency accommodation will be a safe refuge from the flood and will have everything you need. We take into account that you may have had to leave essential items or they may have been damaged by the floods.
The safety of you and your family are paramount. Our swift action in the 2007 floods that affected the UK was acknowledged by both the government and HRH Prince Charles (who visited one of our emergency re-housing centres in Doncaster).
Our team responds quickly to flood disasters in an effort to minimise anxiety, remove you from the danger area and provide you with a stable base while insurance repairs are being carried out to your property.
